Built on the sparkling waters of Monaco, at the end of the year, Mareterra will unveil an elegant haven of life for its residents and a beautiful public space accessible to all. With an advance of several months on the initial calendar, this new eco-district promises to be a haven for culture and leisure in the Principality, celebrating the quintessence of the Mediterranean.
Mareterra embodies the harmonious encounter of sea and land, pushing the boundaries of a territory of only 2 km² by adding six hectares, or 3% more area. This exceptional project involved 300 European companies and 3,500 professionals from around forty different nationalities, including Bouygues Travaux Publics, which managed the underwater works. The varied skills also include marine biology specialists from the University of Nice who have monitored the impact of the construction site on underwater life. Under the aegis of H.S.H. Prince Albert II, Mareterra indeed imposes strict environmental standards. Local species were protected and moved prior to work, with measures to limit sedimentation and turbidity. Ecodesign guarantees ecological balance, making Mareterra a model of innovation in construction on water. The operation, worth 2 billion euros, was financed by private funds from nine Monegasque families.
Walking and leisure
Mareterra amazes with its new leisure and walking areas, dedicating 40% of the extension to green and public areas. Among them, a park, a car park, a seafront promenade - extended by the Larvotto and named Prince Jacques - and a marina surrounded by shops, restaurants and an art gallery. In addition, the Grimaldi Forum will extend by nearly 10,000 m². The 110 apartments and 14 exceptional villas and townhouses, designed in particular by the famous architects Renzo Piano and Valode & Pistre, will attract an international clientele.
The triumph of sustainability
Quintessence of sustainable development, Mareterra aspires to several certifications, including the HQE Facilities label (High Environmental Quality). This district, the most ecological in Monaco, will be decorated with a one-hectare pine forest that will host more than a thousand large local trees: Aleppo pines, umbrella pines, cork oaks, holm oaks, carob trees... Georges Restellini, who orchestrated the creation of the most emblematic gardens of the Principality (the Princess Grace Rose Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Fontvieille Park), signs here his most ambitious project. This new eco-district, pedestrian and open to the sea, also represents a major economic asset for Monaco, offering an unparalleled living experience and ensuring a brilliant future for the Principality in the face of climate challenges.
